WEIGHT GAIN

[glenmar13]

About 6 month ago I was put on Insulin and low carbohydrate diet.
Since then my blood sugar is quite good but I have put on weight. Is this normal?????

unfortunatley yes this is normal, I have the same problem as I am type 1. The insulin therapy makes you gain weight, so try and eat as less carbs as possible so you don't have to use insulin as much

Yes, you need to reduce your carbs and insulin a bit to try to reduce your weight. How many carbs do you have each day?
